Airbnb plans to hand over the names and addresses of 124 hosts on its service to the New York attorney general, the company said in a blog post Friday.

The apartment-rental site agreed in May to provide Attorney General Eric Schneiderman with anonymous information on about 16,000 hosts in the city as well as the names and contact information of individual users the regulator chooses to investigate for possible enforcement action.

The attorney general is trying to gather data to show that Airbnb’s site is in violation of a local hotel law that prohibits people from renting apartments for fewer than 30 days unless the occupants are also present. His office issued subpoenas requesting the data last fall, estimating that the state and city lost out on tens of millions of dollars over the past three years in unpaid taxes.

The 124 hosts being outed to the attorney general have operated multiple listings and the “vast majority” of them no longer have listings on Airbnb, David Hantman, the company’s head of public policy said in the blog post. That may be due to the fact that Airbnb looked for bad actors on its own site earlier this year and removed more than 2,000 listings in New York.

Still, that leaves the future of at least a few active Airbnb listings in jeopardy and facing potential legal action by Schneiderman. A spokeswoman for his office declined to comment on what will happen to these hosts.

By complying with regulators, Airbnb — which was valued in April at $10 billion by venture capitalists — risks losing the trust of its users. A female business owner in Brooklyn told the Wall Street Journal in May that she took down her listing because she didn’t want to be investigated. Though she feels she didn’t do anything wrong, she said the laws seemed unclear.

Schneiderman is also permitted to request personal information about any additional hosts in New York within one year of his agreement with Airbnb.

“While the Attorney General’s Office may request additional information in the coming months, nothing about these hosting profiles suggests he is after anyone but individuals who may be flagrantly misusing our platform,” Hantman said in the blog post.

Airbnb plans to hold a webinar for New York hosts on Monday afternoon to answer questions about the investigation.
